“Portland had an anarchist zone for months! Democrats said nothing!”

What You Say

The CHOP/CHAZ occupation in Seattle lasted weeks, not months — local police cleared it after shootings. Portland protests involved property damage but were not 'lawless zones' exempt from prosecution; hundreds faced charges. Comparing a city block occupation to a coordinated attack on the Capitol certification is whataboutism. DOJ prosecuted both — the scale and target of January 6 were categorically different.
